How a points program works
Customers earn points when they buy and spend them on rewards. The program works when the reward feels close enough to chase and the cost stays within your margin.
Setting your earn rate
The simplest rule: 1 point for every ₱X spent. To choose X, decide how much of each sale you want to give back (most small shops give back 2–5%) and how much the first reward costs you.
Example: a café gives 1 point per ₱20. A large iced coffee (cost to the café ₱45) costs 60 points. A customer spends ₱1,200 to earn it, about 7 visits at ₱180, and the reward costs the café under 4% of what they spent. Close enough to chase, cheap enough to give.

Why server-side earning matters
On many apps the cashier types the points. That invites mistakes and fraud. In Selyo, staff enter the bill amount and the server works out the points from your rules, once per scan. The scan is tied to the staff member, the card and the branch, and recorded in the audit log.
